What you should know about Auckland Signs Blomfield Signs Limited
The story begins with Val Blomfield as Foreman of one of Auckland’s largest Signshops N. Colin Blomfield, Val’s son, served his apprenticeship at Sucklings with his father. Colin suggested to his father that they go it alone and so on 21st November.
Colin convinced his father that they would have to build to suit their needs if the business was to continue to take advantage of new clients. The property was promptly bought, the old house demolished plans were drawn up to build Auckland’s first purpose built sign studio Approximately twelve months later the company moved into their brand new home. It was like a dream come true to be able to drive a huge Kenworth truck inside, shut the doors, work in comfort regardless of the weather outside. Storage of materials was designed to be functional efficient separate office areas completed the picture.
Later each served as President for two years both were honoured with life membership for their services to the sign industry. During the 51 years since 1955, over 40 apprentices were trained, many of whom went on to form their own successful sign companies. Val worked on till the age of 73 when he finally put away his brushes to enjoy a well earned retirement to pursue his hobby of oil painting which he continued right up until he passed away. Johnathan had served his apprenticeship under Val Colin, spent a few years working in Australia returned to Blomfield Signs to become foreman.
Over the next few years Colin Johnathan became a successful happy working team. In a logical progression Johnathan became a director shareholder, then progressively bought the business finally the building when Colin retired. The nationally known reputation for honesty integrity of Blomfield Signs has happily continued to grow during the changes to digital electronic technology with Johnathan as it’s enthusiastic proprietor. Founded by the late Val Blomfield and his son Colin until 1990 when new owner Jonathan Maitland bought the company.
Blomfield Signs are founding members of the New Zealand Sign and Display Association which is for you, the Client, a reassurance of quality and service
